Root help unrooting

[vinniemac3]

ok so my brother broke his phone which is rooted for him. i would have no problem unrooting it except he broke his screen. so since the screen is just nothing but black i have no clue what hboot version he has and have no clue how to return this phone to stock. appreciate any help

Hmmmm, bad predicament. Maybe try to find a replacement on craigslist or ebay. Or try to find a local store that doesn't mind rooted users. They're around, just have to test the techs with a tooth pick.

I would think that you could do it through adb BUT if you are not familiar with it, it will likely be overwhelming. The other choice would be to run the ruu from your pc and hope they don't see the s-off

ADB= Android Debug Bridge. Basically you can do functions on your phone through a pc when its plugged in.

RUU is the stock original software that came on the phone. It is used to completely restore a phone to "out of the box" stock.

cool ty is there a page that tells you how to do it through adb?

I am on my phone and don't have the link. Try and Google it. There is a guide and a couple threads on xda I believe.
